STM of Delhi Supergroup of Rocks in Nim Ka Thana –
Raipur – Patan Area, Sikar District, Rajasthan with
Special Emphasis on Locating New Zones of Base
metal Mineralisation

(Progress Report for the field seasons 2004-05)

ABSTRACT

Specialised thematic mapping and geochemical sampling


were carried out in Nim Ka Thana – Raipur – Patan area,
Sikar district, Rajasthan covering an area of 300 sq. km.
on 1: 25000 scale to elucidate the lithostratigraphy,
structure, tectonics and to identify target areas for base
metal mineralisation.
The area forms a part of Delhi Supergroup of Rajasthan
(Heron, 1953) & comprises of low to medium grade
metasedimentary rocks belonging to Ajabgarh Group of Delhi
Supergroup and intrusives of Post Delhi age. Ajabgarh Group
of rocks are arenaceous, calcareous and argillaceous in
nature and comprises of quartzite, mica schist ± amphibole
± garnet, calc – silicate/ calc – gneiss, dolomite/ impure
marble. Quartzite is the most predominant rock type exposed
in the area, forming high steady ridges, trending NNE – SSW
and WWN – EES. All other rocks are exposed along the
ground level, forming low to medium hillocks. Granite,
amphibolite, pegmatite and quartz veins are the Post Delhi
intrusives. Their occurrences are local and are intruded

i
along the weak planes existing within and between the
rocks.
Primary sedimentary structures preserved as cross and
current bedding in quartzite. Bedding (S 0) is the non
diastrophic planar structure preserved in the rocks like
mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet, impure marble and
quartzite, defined by colour banding and compositional
variation. Rocks in the area show complex structural
history. Three generations of deformations have been
noticed in the area. F1 folds are tight to isoclinal and
disharmonic in nature with moderate to steep southwesterly
plunge. Schistosity and gneissosity (S 1) are the planar
structures developed in schist and calc- silicate/ calc -
gneiss as a result of F1 deformation. Second phase of
deformation is marked by the development of F2 folds. F2
folds are tight to open in nature, preserved in mesoscopic
to macroscopic scale, showing moderate south and
southwesterly plunge. F1 and F2 folds are coaxial in nature,
hence S0, S1 and S2 are parallel to each other except in the
hinge region of the folds. Superposition of F2 folds on
F1folds resulted in the development of Type-III interference
pattern (i.e. hook shaped interference pattern) of Ramsay
preserved in macroscopic scale near Rela. Third phase of
deformation resulted in F3 folding of rocks, developed
weakly as broad open warps along WWN – EES striking axial
plane. The axial planar cleavage of F3 folds are defined by
widely spaced fracture plane, sub vertical to vertical in
nature, striking perpendicular to the earlier foliation of
the rocks except in the hinge region of folds. Few
prominent NNE – SSW trending shear zone have been noticed
in the area. Stretching of quartz, σ- porphyroblasts and

ii
other shear related features have been observed in the
area. Three sets of prominent joints have been noted in
rocks especially in massive quartzite. Few faults have been
noted in the area near Bhopiya and Dokan.
Study of the rocks under the microscope; indicate that
the rocks of the area have undergone Green Schist facies to
Albite– Epidote– Amphibolite facies (i.e. Lower Amphibolite
facies) regional metamorphism.
Indications of copper mineralisation as grains of
Bornite, chalcopyrite, covellite and malachite stains are
seen in the mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet and impure
marble host rock in the Baleshwar – Dokan – Patan area.
Bornite grains are exposed on the surface of the mica
schist ± amphibole ± garnet as dissemination and along
quartz veins in impure marble.
The bedrock samples collected from the rocks of the
mineralised area, analysed by AAS method yielded copper
values ranging from 0.1 to 1.91 %, zinc values between 10
to 0.17% and lead values ranging from 20 to 529 ppm. Nickel
and cobalt values ranges between <25 to 750 and <25 to 622
ppm respectively. Gold values ranges between <0.05 to 0.3
ppm (Table No.- 1).
Soil geochemical sampling was carried out in and
around Baleshwar and Nathuwala area to identify the
secondary dispersion pattern of elements in order to
decipher the trend and extent of base metal mineralisation
zones.

CHAPTER-1

1.INTRODUCTION
In pursuance of the field season programme 2004-05,
vide item no.48, specialised thematic mapping and
geochemical sampling of Delhi Supergroup of rocks has been
carried out in Nim Ka Thana – Raipur – Patan area. An area
of 300 sq km on 1:25,000 scale was studied to elucidate the
lithostratigraphy, structure and tectonics of the area and
to locate target areas for base metal mineralisation. The
area falls in toposheet no. 45 M / 13 & 14 & 54 A / 1 & 2.
Geochemical sampling (soil) was carried out in the
Baleshwar area (mineralised) on 250-meter × 500-meter grid.

1.1. Location and Accessibility


The study area in and around Nim Ka Thana – Raipur -
Patan is bounded by latitude 270 42´ to 27 0 48´ and
longitude 750 48´ to 760 05´. About 85% of the mapped area
falls in Sikar district while the rest 15% falls in Jaipur

1
district. National Highway No. 8 passes along the eastern
side of the area and connects Delhi and Jaipur via
Kotputli. From Kotputli the study area is connected by
state highway, bisecting the area into two parts. The
Delhi- Ahmedabad broad gauge railway lines runs along the
western part of the area. The nearest railway station is
Nim Ka Thana. Majority of the villages are linked by all
weather metalled roads while the remote localities are
connected by jeepable tracks.

1.2. Physiography, Drainage and Climate


The topography of the area is hilly. Quartzite forms
the main ridges, which rise up to 700 meters above M.S.L.
and trend in the NNE-SSW direction in the Parusotampura and
Nanagwas etc. area and E-W direction in the Raipur area.
The low-lying areas are generally at 400 meters above
M.S.L. and are occupied by soft calcareous rocks. The soil
profile is poorly developed with the upper A-horizon
directly resting over calcrete rich C- horizon (Cca) in
most part of the area. The area is drained by an ephemeral
streamlet flowing towards southwest of the area. This
streamlet is joined by several small nalas flowing from
southeast to northwest dissecting the undulatory terrain
following the general slope direction of the area before
merging in alluvial soil. The climate of the area is dry
and arid. During summer, the day temperature rise up to 48 0C
while in winter, it drops down to 50 C. The rainfall is
scanty. There is only little seepage, which helps the
replenishment of the ground water resources to some extent.

2
1.3. Flora and Fauna
The hill slopes and the valleys support only sparse
growth of vegetation in the form of thorny bushes and
shrubs. The cultivated trees are of varied types, which
include Nim, Pipal, Jamun etc. Natural fauna is generally
restricted to the small games.

1.4. Previous Work


The area was first geologically mapped by A. M. Heron
(1923) on 1:63,360 scale. He classified the rocks exposed
in the area into Alwar & Ajabgarh Group of Delhi Supergroup
& brought out the regional structure. M. L. Bhat (F.S.-
1968-69) carried out geological mapping on 1:31,680 scale
in parts of toposheet nos. 45 M/13&14 and 54A/1&2. He
classified the quartzite of the area as part of Alwar Group
& micaceous quartzite, calcareous – biotite ± amphibole
schist, calc – silicate and dolomite/ impure marble of the
area as part of Ajabgarh Group of Delhi Supergroup. He
included granite, amphibolite, pegmatite and quartz veins
into Post Delhi intrusives. According to him the rocks of
the area suffered three phases of deformation. N.A.Khan
(F.S. 1980-83) and Paul & Bajaj (F.S. 1999-2000- during the
course of reassessment work) worked in the northern part of
the area into the state of Haryana. They reported copper
mineralisation in the Ajabgarh Group of rocks in Galwa-
Ganguthana area, Mahendragarh district, close to Rajasthan-
Haryana border. Detailed geological mapping and geochemical
survey carried out by S. Mukhopadhyay (F.S.-2000-01) in the
Baniwala Ki Dhani – Dokan areas resulted in identifying
copper anomaly over the area and this was substantiated by
ground geophysical surveys. Drilling investigation during
the F.S. 2001-02 to 2003-04 by S. Mukhopadhyay established

3
subsurface copper mineralisation in Baniwala ki Dhani in
impure marl, biotite amphibole schist. During the F.S.
1999-2001, S. Mukhopadhyay had done investigation for
bismuth and associated gold mineralisation in Narda area.
During the F.S. 1971-72, S.M. Joshi and S. Gangopadhyay had
done detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling
in Patan area. J. N. Ray had carried out studies on
superposed deformation in Delhi rocks near Patan. He
delineated three phases of deformation of the rocks exposed
in the area. M.L Jhanwar did geological mapping in the
southwestern part of the area between Khandela, Kotri and
Bhadwari, Sikar district Rajasthan (F.S. 1967-68). A.R.Das
and R.K. Jain carried out systematic geological mapping in
Pawata- Ajitgarh- Shahpura area, district Sikar and Jaipur
(F.S. 75-77), which form the southern part of the area.

1.5. Present Work


Specialised thematic mapping has been carried out
around Nim Ka Thana – Raipur – Patan, Sikar district,
Rajasthan, to establish the lithostratigraphy, structure
and tectonics, on 1:25,000 scale covering an area of 300
sq. km. And soil geochemical sampling on 250 meter x 500
meter grid pattern in the mineralised Baleshwar area was
carried out to identify anomalous areas of base metal
concentration. The soil geochemistry also helped in
reconstructing the subsurface geology. The quantum of work
carried out during the field seasons 2004-05 is given
below:

LITHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 AJABGARH GROUP
The Ajabgarh group of rocks exposed in the area are
aranaceous, argillaceous and calcareous in nature. It
consists of mica schist horizon mainly which is the country
rock for the area and having thin bands of dolomite/ impure
marble, calc- silicate, amphibole- schist, quartzite,
ferruginous quartzite, micaceous quartzite etc. Mica schist
is exposed in the low lying areas where as impure marble/
dolomite and calc- silicate/ calc-gneiss is exposed as low
lying ridges in the area and quartzites are exposed as
moderate to high ridges in the area.

2.1.1 Gritty quartzite


It is exposed as prominent NNE-SSW trending steep
ridges and maintaining uniformity in lithology for
considerable strike length. Gritty quartzites are exposed
in the areas like south of Baleshwar, south of Ganwari,
east of Dokan, north of Mahawa and north of Bageshwar. The
quartzite ridge shows variation in thickness due to
sedimentary facies variation and later deformation. In the
Nimod area, the western side of the main Baleshwar
quartzite ridge transformed into quartz mica schist due to
increase in mica content and stretching of quartz grains
are noted due to local shearing effects. The rock is white
in colour and coarse grained. In the rock quartz grains are
elongated parallel to the schistosity plane. Thin muscovite
rich band is well noted on western slope of the ridge. But
as we move towards centre of the ridge it shows massive
nature and nearly devoid of any structural features except
joints and shear zone, shear zone is noted near ∆ 842-hill

7
top, which is showing dextral sense of shear. Gritty
quartzite is whitish, pinkish, reddish and grayish in
colour, coarse grained, hard, compact and massive in
appearance but well jointed. At places the rock is weakly
foliated due to increase in mica content like in Bhitarali
Ki Dhani area where it breaks down into thick slabs. The
pinkish and reddish colour of the rock is due to increase
in feldspar content and iron enrichment. The rock contains
quartz pebbles of variable size and shape. Some pebbles are
ellipsoidal, some platy, all are elongated parallel to the
schistosity plane. The stretching of quartz grains are due
to local shearing of massive quartzite ridge along the
flanks during D2 deformation. The rock is medium to coarse
grained in hand specimen and composed of quartz, feldspar,
muscovite and non-magnetic iron ore (specularite). Due to
local iron enrichment it changes colour to reddish as noted
in Baleshwar and Dokan area. Primary structures like
bedding defined by colour and compositional banding,
current & cross bedding and gain size variation within the
rock (graded bedding) are well preserved.
The study of the thin sections (WR/TS/9409,9411) of
gritty quartzite shows that the rock is leucocratic, medium
to coarse grained, inequigranular and made up mainly of
quartz. Muscovite laths, subidioblastic orthoclase and
microcline, Fe stains and opaque present in minor amount.
Quartz grains are subidioblastic to xenoblastic in shape
and are of variable size. Grains show deformational
features such as serrated grain boundary, undulose
extinction. At places grains are fractured, along which
secondary development of muscovite laths are seen. Within
the rock no preferred orientation of constituent grains are
present. The overall texture of the rock is granoblastic.

8
2.1.2 Massive quartzite
Massive Ajabgarh quartzite is exposed as prominent
NNE-SSW to NE-SW ridge in north of Patan, Raipur, east of
Ganwari, west of Mahawa and south of Ghasipura area. It is
light pinkish to grey in colour, medium grained hard and
massive but at places it is micaceous. It has occupied most
of the ridge top in the area. It shows variation in
thickness due to intense folding and facies variation. It
varies in width from 10 m to 150 m having a considerable
good strike length. It is composed of quartz with minor
amount of feldspar and opaques. It is very weakly foliated
at places but well jointed. At places, it is pinkish with
slightly high k-feldspar content. Thin bands of brownish
colour medium-grained quartzites are exposed at many places
within the mica schist horizon in Baleshwar – Dokan area. A
70-100m thick massive quartzite is noted in NNE of Nimod
within mica- schist horizon, which is ferruginised.
The study of the thin sections
(WR/TS/9395,9396,9399,9735,9650) of quartzite shows that
the rock is leucocratic, fine to medium grained,
inequigranular and made up mainly of quartz, microcline,
muscovite laths and opaque. Quartz grains are xenoblastic
in shape & occur in two-size mode. At places quartz grains
showing deformational features like serrated grain
boundary, undulose extinction etc. In few sections quartz
grains are fractured. Microcline grains are fine in size
and subidioblastic in shape. Fe stains are common within
the rock. Overall texture of the rock is granoblastic. At
few places crude foliation defined by the parallel
alignment of the elongated quartz grains and muscovite
laths are observed.

2.1.3 Micaceous quartzite
Micaceous quartzite is exposed in Bharala, Dhandela,
Hasampur and south of Nanagwas. It is composed of medium
grained quartz, feldspar and muscovite and feasile in
nature due to high percentage of mica. It is of white to
pink colour and wide spaced foliations are well developed
in the rock, local iron staining is also noted.
The study of the thin sections (WR/TS/9741,9412) of
micaceous quartzite shows that the rock is leucocratic,
inequigranular, medium grained, made up of ill sorted
subhedral to anhedral quartz, subhedral orthoclase and
plagioclase, lath shaped muscovite, elongated prismatic
biotite grains. Quartz grains show deformational features
such as serrated grain boundary, undulose extinction. In
few places grains are elongated parallel to the foliation
plane. In the rock bend laths of muscovite are seen. Within
the rock crude foliation is defined by the parallel
alignment of micas as well as elongated quartz grains. Iron
stains are seen in few places.

2.2 Mica ± amphibole ± garnet schist


The mica schist is the main country rock and having
wide distribution in the area occupying most of the low
lying and soil covered areas, as indicated by dug well
mucks. This horizon is very thick and exposed at place as
in north of Nimod, in & around Baleshwar, east of Mahawa,
Bageshwar, Dokan, Patan, west of Bhopiya. It occupies
nearly 30% of the mapped area. It is of blackish to grayish
in colour, medium to fine grained and composed of quartz,
feldspar, biotite, muscovite, amphibole and garnet. At
places where muscovite content is more, it is of light
colour. The schistosity in the rock is marked by alignment

10
of the mafics. In the Nimod area as we move towards east it
slowly changes to muscovite- schist and near contact of
gritty quartzite it changes to amphibole- schist. Near the
contact it is highly rich in amphibole laths but these
laths look like authigenic amphiboles and not the product
of metamorphism as it is distributed on the surface only.
In the area south of Raipur, thin band 2-5 m calc –
tremolite – actinolite schist rock is noted, which is of
white colour showing asbestos formation on the surface.
Throughout the area it is calcareous in nature except at
few places as in north of Baleshwar. Within the biotite-
schist horizon thin bands of (< 5m width) dolomite/ impure
marble of brownish colour is noted at many places. At
places where quartz percentage is more the rock grades into
quartz- mica schist and quartz schist.
The study of the thin sections (WR/TS/9405,9407,9408,
9414,9417) of mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet shows that
the rock is mesocratic, inequigranular, fine to medium
grained and is composed of quartz, orthoclase, microcline,
plagioclase, biotite, muscovite, chlorite, calcite,
almandine garnet, sphene, tourmaline and opaque. Within the
rock alkali feldspar and biotite is greater than the
plagioclase feldspar and muscovite. Two generations of
quartz present, 1st generation quartz are sub-idioblastic to
xenoblastic in shape and present in the microlithon domain.
Second generations of quartz grains are present as
inclusion within the muscovite and calcite. Carbonate
materials present as discrete sub-idioblastic grains of
calcite, as calcite vein and as granular aggregate within
the ground mass. Within the rock calcite and muscovite is
developed later and show haphazard distribution. Garnet
present as porphyroblasts, hexagonal to irregular in shape.

11
Contain numerous irregular inclusion of quartz. The growth
of garnet crystals are pre-tectonic as schistosity plane
showing warping around the garnet grains. Two generation of
muscovite lath seen, 1st generation parallel to the
nd
schistosity and the 2 generation grains are showing
crosscutting relationship with it. Deformational features
such as serrated grain boundary, undulose extinction of
quartz, bend biotite and muscovite flakes, rounded outline
of garnet etc. seen within the rock.

2.3 Calc-silicate/ Calc-gneiss


Bands of calc- silicate rock are exposed in the area
east of Baleshwar, east of Mahawa and west of Dhandhela
within mica schist horizon. In Raipur area, calc – silicate
are exposed as country rock, which is showing layers of
carbonate rich and silicate rich bands. Calc- gneiss is
exposed in & around Rela and also in the soil covered area
in west of Rela indicted by dug well studies. It is well
exposed in SW and SE of Rela and west of Bara. The rock is
medium grained dark colour and shows very good gneissic
banding of light colour quartz bearing band and dark colour
mafic band. Width of individual light and dark colour band
varies from few millimeter to 15 Cm. Due to differential
weathering of soft and hard band, the rock is showing
ribbon type structure on the surface. Calc – gneiss shows
gradational contact with impure and siliceous marble in the
area SW of Rela.
Study of thin section (WR/TS/9400) of calc-silicate/
calc-gneiss shows that the rock is mesocratic,
inequigranular, medium grained and is composed of quartz,
plagioclase, biotite, calcite, sphene and opaque. Within
the nearly equigranular quartzo-feldspathic groundmass or

12
matrix large crystals of calcite is present, which
developed later. Calcite crystals are sub-idioblastic to
xenoblastic in shape and in some places they form granular
aggregate. Crude gneissosity is developed within the rock
due to preferred orientation of biotite flakes.
Deformational features such as serrated grain boundary,
undulose extinction etc. seen in quartz grains.

2.4 Impure marble/ Dolomite


Impure marble/ dolomite is exposed as thick horizon (>
1km.) north & northeast of Raipur, west & east of Bharala
and west of Patan. Impure marble/ dolomite rock is also
noted in Balupura – Chhaja ka Nangal area; where at one
place in south of Balupura, impure marble/ dolomite is
composed of some fibrous mineral (tremolite-actinolite).
The impure marble is intimately associated with calc-
gneiss/ calc silicate; it is medium to coarse grained, dark
brownish colour showing sacchroidal texture. A pinkish fine
to medium grained rock has been noted in the area SSE of
Ghasipura. It is having K-feldspar as main constituents,
which is due to intense feldspathisation of impure marble.
But it is giving a peculiar appearance in the area. Iron
ore (specularite) has been noted in the rock in
dissemination form.
The study of the thin sections
(WR/TS/9739,9742,9403,9651) of impure marble/ dolomite
shows that the rock is mesocratic, inequigranular; fine to
coarse grained and is composed of tremolite, actinolite,
calcite, quartz, microcline, biotite, muscovite, and
opaque. Tremolite/ actinolite grains are subidioblastic,
elongated bladed in shape and show crude preferred
orientation. Within the rock quartz grains are anhedral in

13
shape and occur in two-size mode, one as coarse grains and
other occurs in fine clusters. Calcite occurs as subhedral
grains as well as fine granular aggregate. Biotite and
muscovite occurs in lath shape and showing a crude
preferred orientation. The overall texture of the rock is
granoblastic.

2.5 Brecciated quartzite


The brecciated quartzite rock is exposed as long high
ridge in the area SE of Rela, in & around Parusotampura,
south of Bara, east of Hasampur and in and around Bhopiya &
Kalyanpura, which is at places ferruginised and gossanised
as noted in north of Parusotampura and east of Hasampur and
it is feldspathised locally as noted in & around Bhopiya
and Kalyanpura. This brecciated quartzite is highly
fractured and limonitised. The original character of the
rock is obliterated due to limonitisation. The brecciated
part of the rock contains sub -angular to sub-rounded
fragments of quartz of various dimensions embedded in
ferruginous and siliceous matrix. Due to ferruginisation it
is giving dull brick red colour. Stretched quartz grains
are common in the rock, which at places giving boudins and
rod like appearance. It has a variable width (25-150m) in
the area.
The study of the thin section (WR/TS/9410) of
brecciated quartzite shows that the rock is inequigranular;
fine to medium grained & is made up of quartz with minor
amounts of opaque. Fe stains are pronounced throughout the
rock. Quartz grains are xenoblastic in shape, highly
fractured. The overall texture of the rock is granoblastic
In another thin section individual constituents of the rock

14
is not identifiable due to intense ferrugenisation
(WR/TS/9647).

2.6 Impure marble


Impure marble is exposed in the area in & around
Bhopiya, Kalyanpura, east of Hasampur, east of
Parusotampura and Suklabas. It is high in calcite content
and at places giving good marble, mining for which is going
on in the area around Bhopiya. It is brecciated and cherty
in nature at many places as noted in the area, in & around
Bhopiya and in few dug well mucks of the area. It is
limonitised at places giving reddish colour as noted near
Bhopiya. It is of grayish to whitish colour in general and
composed of calcite with few other minerals.
The study of the thin sections (WR/TS/9739) of
impure marble shows that the rock is mesocratic,
inequigranular; fine to coarse grained and is composed of
tremolite, actinolite, calcite, quartz, microcline,
biotite, muscovite, and opaque. Tremolite/ actinolite
grains are subidioblastic, elongated bladed in shape and
show crude preferred orientation. Within the rock quartz
grains are anhedral in shape and occur in two-size mode,
one as coarse grains and other occurs in fine clusters.
Calcite occurs as subhedral grains as well as fine granular
aggregate. Biotite and muscovite occurs in lath shape and
showing a crude preferred orientation. The overall texture
of the rock is granoblastic.

Intrusives

2.7 Biotite granite


Biotite granite is exposed in the south of Nanagwas.
The central portion of the rock is massive, but in the

15
periphery it is showing gneissic nature. The rock is pink
in colour; medium to coarse grained and composed of quartz,
feldspar and biotite. The rock is intervened by the
pegmatite veins. At places it shows porphyritic texture
with rounded or flattened phenocrysts of feldspar and
quartz. The granite does not have any sharp contact with
the country rock (biotite schist) and at places, pronounced
foliation in both makes it similar in appearance. At
places, contact is fused, twisted and sometimes brecciated
in nature.
The study of thin sections (WR/TS/9748,9648,9649) of
granite shows that the rock is inequigranular, and medium
to coarse grained and composed of quartz, microcline,
orthoclase, plagioclase, biotite, sphene, apatite and
zircon. As alkali feldspar is more in comparison to
plagioclase feldspar it seems to be of granodioritic
composition. The rock shows deformational features such as
bend twin lamellae of plagioclase, fractured quartzo-
feldspathic aggregate. At places preferred orientation of
biotite grains giving gneissic appearance to the rock.

2.8 Amphibolite
Amphibolitic igneous rock as intrusive is noted in
north of Nimod near contact of gritty quartzite on the
western slope of the ridge and at few other places also as
seen in north of Baleshwar. It is of medium-grained
melanocratic rock composed of amphibole, feldspar, biotite,
and garnet. It is of small width <5m and length is also not
continous, it is co folded with the rocks of the area. It
is showing sharp contact with the host rocks and is
mineralised at places. Amphibolite rock is also noted in
many parts as in NE of Dokan and in Bharala – Mahawa

16
section. In Dokan area it is exposed as thick band (10- 25
m width) on the eastern contact of gritty quartzite and
mica schist. In Mahawa – Bharala section it is exposed as
very thick horizon and schistose in nature, forming
amphibole schist type rock.
The study of thin sections (WR/TS/9743,9737,9653) of
amphibolite shows that the rock is inequigranular, medium
to coarse grained and composed of hornblende, quartz,
tremolite, actinolite, biotite, sphene, epidote and opaque.
Hornblende grains are elongated prismatic in habit and at
places occur as patches. Hornblende grains are fractured
and altered to biotite along fractures, grain margins and
also along cleavage plains indicating retrograde
metamorphism. Typical sieve texture defined by the numerous
inclusion of quartz within hornblende is observed in few
sections. Tremolite – actinolite grains are subidioblastic
and occur in acicular/bladed form. Biotite grains occur
along the grain boundaries of amphiboles as alteration
product, also occur in irregular patches. Sphene grains are
fine in size and xenoblastic in shape and occur in
association of hornblende and opaque. Epidote grains are
fine and subidioblastic. The overall texture of the rock is
hypidiomorphic granular. But few sections show development
of a crude schistosity.

2.9 Pegmatite and quartz vein


Many pegmatite and quartz veins have been intruded in
the area in & around Rela. They are intruded mainly along
the S2 plane trending NE-SW, which is the most dominant
foliation plane observed in the area developed during the D2
phase of deformation. Quartz veins of variable width from
<1 cm to 25 centimeters are noted in all most all rock

17
types but most common in calc- gneiss horizon, at places it
is co-folded with the host rock and at few other places it
is cross cutting the structural elements of the rock,
indicating at least two generation of quartz veins.
Pegmatite veins are observed in east of Rela and east of
Mahawa where at places it is gossanised with good box work.
Thin width (5 – 50 cm) quartz/ pegmatite veins have been
intruded all along the schistosity plane in biotite schist
in nearly continuous nature in north of Nimod, north of
Baleshwar, south of Raipur, in & around Rela, Baniwala ki
Dhani and Dokan. These quartz/ pegmatite veins at places
are ferruginised and showing indication of sulphide
mineralisation.

18
CHAPTER-3

STRUCTURE

The area shows complex structural history as the rock


types suffers multiphase of deformation. The general trends
of the rocks are NNE-SSW to NE-SW with steep dip towards E
and W. The variation of dip direction is due to complex
folding undergone by the rock formations.

Primary Structure:

In the area primary structure is represented by


bedding (S0), is defined by colour and compositional
banding preserved in the metasedimentary rocks like calc-
gneiss/calc-silicate, quartzite, impure marble/dolomite,
mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet. Bedding plane show
variable thickness, varies from few mm to a cm. Apart from
bedding, primary sedimentary structures like current
bedding and cross bedding is noted in quartzite in the
Bharala, Hasampur area. Bedding plane show variable dips
and strike due to later deformation but the general trend
is NE-SW.

Secondary Structure:

Rocks in the area under reference shows multiple


phases of deformation, which are preserved at places. On
the basis of orientation of planar and linear structures,
minor folds and fold interference pattern three phases of
deformation were noted in the area. Secondary structures
present in the area include folds, shear, fault and joints.

19
Deformation of first generation:

The first phase of deformation has been marked by F1


folds, which are preserved in mesoscopic scale in the area
around Rela and Baleshwar. F1 folds are tight to isoclinal
and disharmonic in nature with moderato to steep
southwesterly plunge. An associated axial planar
schistosity/ gneissosity is represented by closely spaced
continuous cleavage developed in calc gneiss/ calc-silicate
and mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet (S1).

Deformation of second generation:


The second phase of deformation is marked by the
development of F2 folds, which are tight to close folds
preserved in mesoscopic to macroscopic scale with fold axis
showing moderate southwesterly plunge. An associated axial
planar cleavage (S2) is represented by crenulation or
discrete fracture cleavage with strike varying from N-S to
E-W. dip of the S2 plane is steep to vertical dipping
easterly as well as westerly. F2 folds are inclined to
upright in nature. Lineations corresponding to F2 folds are
well preserved as pucker axis lineation, boudinage
lineation and intersection lineation (intersection of S0
and S1 plane).
Megascopic F2 fold closure is seen in the Mahawa-
Bharala- Bageshwar, Baleshwar and Raipur area, where
quartzite, mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet and impure
marble/ dolomite rocks are folded into a series of antiform
and synform. In the Mahawa- Bharala- Bageshwar area, Mahawa
synform is followed by Bharala antiform, which is again
followed by Bageshwar synform. In the above area F2 fold
plunges moderately towards SW. In the Baleshwar area

20
quartzite band folded into a F2 synform with moderate
plunge towards SW direction. In the Raipur area megascopic
F2 antiform is noted. The lithology involved in folding is
quartzite band.

Deformation of third generation:


The third phase of deformation in the area is weakly
developed marked by broad open warps along nearly E-W
striking axial plane. The corresponding cleavage (S3) is
represented by widely spaced fracture cleavage in the area
whose general trend is nearly E-W with steep dip towards N
and S. Lineation corresponding to the F3 fold is well
preserved as intersection lineation developed due to
intersection of S1 and S2 plane.

Interference structure:

In the area F1 and F2 folds are nearly co-axial,


superposition of F2 fold on the F1 fold produces Type – III
interference (hook shape) pattern in mesoscopic scale at a
place SE of Rela. On the limb of the F2 fold it is very
difficult to separate S0, S1 and S2 as all are nearly
parallel.

Joint:

Joints are commonly developed in most of the rocks.


They are, however, best developed in quartzites. The most
common joint is the bedding joint, parallel to the regional
attitude usually with moderate dips and the other set at
right angles to it, is either with very steep dips or

21
vertical. Some other sets of joints recorded oblique to the
above.

Shear:

Few prominent NNE-SSW trending shear zones have been


noted in the Baleshwar area. Stretching of quartz, σ-
porphyroblasts and other shear related features have been
observed in the area. Study of shear zone revealed dextral
sense of shearing.

Fault:

Few faults have been noted in the area near Bhopiya


and Dokan. The nature of faulting is not clear due to soil
cover. The faults are inferred from the truncation of litho
bands against another one both with varying attitude. In
the Bhopiya area Quartzite band show offsetting due to
faulting.

22
CHAPTER-4

METAMORPHISM

The rocks of the Ajabgarh Group belonging to the Delhi


Supergroup represent the mapped area. The rocks of the
Ajabgarh Group comprises quartzite, mica schist ± amphibole
± garnet, impure marble/dolomite and calc-gneiss/calc-
silicate. Beside these granite and amphibolite present as
Post Delhi intrusives.
The various mineral assemblages found in the different
metasedimentary rocks and in Post Delhi intrusives are as
follows:

A. Pelitic rocks:
1. Quartz + Orthoclase + Plagioclase + Biotite +
Muscovite + Calcite + Almandine Garnet.

2. Biotite + Muscovite + Quartz + Orthoclase +


Almandine Garnet.

3. Quartz + Orthoclase + Microcline + Muscovite +


Biotite + Chlorite + Calcite.

B. Calcareous rocks:
1. Calcite + Quartz + Plagioclase + Orthoclase +
Biotite + Sphene + Opaque.

2. Calcite + Tremolite + Actinolite + Epidote +


Quartz + Sphene.

23
C. Araneceous rocks:
1. Quartz + Microcline + Orthoclase.

2. Quartz + Orthoclase + Opaque.

3. Quartz + Microcline.

4. Quartz + Microcline + Plagioclase + Muscovite +


Biotite + Fe stains.

D. Basic rock:
1. Hornblende + Tremolite + Actinolite + Quartz +
Sphene + Opaque.

E. Acidic rock:
1. Quartz + Microcline + Plagioclase + Orthoclase +
Biotite + Sphene + Zircon + Opaque.

2. Quartz + Microcline + Plagioclase + Orthoclase +


Biotite + Sphene + Zircon + Apatite + Calcite
vein.

It is evident from the above mineral assemblages that


rocks of the mapped area represent Low to Medium grade
mineral assemblages and has undergone greenschist facies to
Albite- Epidote – Amphibolite facies (i.e. Lower
Amphibolite facies) regional metamorphism.

24
CHAPTER-5

5. GEOCHEMICAL MAPPING
Geochemical sampling of soil comprised one of the major
components of the present work since the area being
mineralised. Multi elemental analysis by ICP-AES method was
carried out with the objective of base metal targeting as
well as elucidation of soil geochemistry in order to get
information on subsurface lithology in the soil covered
terrain. During the FS 2004-05, Sampling was carried out on
a semi-regional scale over the mica schist ± amphibole ±
garnet, dolomite/impure marble terrain in Baleshwar –
Nathuwala area on 250 m x 500 m grid interval. A total of
101 soil samples were collected from the ‘C’ horizon. The
samples were sieved to –120 mesh and analysed by ICP-AES
method for 34 elements. The database of the soil along with
X and Y co-ordinates, based on the Survey of India KM grid
system was created in Excel worksheet (Table No.-3). The
data interpretation was carried out in two modes viz: 1)
Statistical mode which included univariate and bivariate
statistical analysis and 2) Spatial representation and
analysis. Spatial analysis included preparation of
geochemical map for elements and overlay of base metal
elements.

5.1 Baleshwar – Nathuwala area:


The soil profile in the area is poorly developed. The
top most, light brown coloured A horizon is followed by
calcrete rich C horizon (Cca) in major part of the area.
Sampling was done in the area falling in and around
Baleshwar – Nathuwala, where the outcrops are showing

25
evidences of mineralisation. The study of descriptive
statistics of the soil sample analytical data indicate that
the mean and median values closely matches, showing near
normal distribution (Table No.-4). The analytical values
for Cu, Pb and Zn range between 7 to 1144 ppm, 19 to 199
ppm and 29 to 212 ppm respectively. The median values for
Cu, Pb and Zn are 72, 52 and 69 ppm respectively, which
suggest that the mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet,
dolomite/impure marble forming the country rocks contain
relatively higher amount of Cu, Pb and Zn than their
average abundance in soil. The threshold values for Cu, Pb
and Zn, calculated based on the formula “Mean + 2 SD” are
418.342 ppm, 98.688 ppm and 131.696 ppm respectively.
The soil geochemical maps were studied for basemetal
association and for lithophile association.

5.1.1 Basemetal anomalies:


The geochemical map of copper (Fig.2) indicates that
the most conspicuous soil anomaly zone is located in the
east of Baleshwar Mandir. Another anomalous zone is located
south of Nathuwala. The anomalous zone of Cu east of
Baleshwar Mandir is associated with mineralisation,
supported by the geochemical map of Co, which shows same
anomaly zone, both of them are chalcophile element. The
second anomalous zone located south of Nathuwala is
indicative of lithophile association. Here Cu and V
(correlation coefficient = 0.48) shows same anomaly zone,
hence it indicates that it is due to rock composition and
not due to mineralisation. The study of correlation matrix
(Table No.-5) show positive correlation of Zn with Pb
(correlation coefficient = 0.7), it is also reflected in
the Zn & Pb distribution map (Fig. 13 & 14 respectively)

26
both shows anomalous zone in the same area south of
Nathuwala.

5.1.2 Lithophile association:


SiO2 (Fig. 20) & CaO (Fig. 19) have a good negative
correlation (correlation coefficient = -0.8) & shows four
zones of matching spatial distribution in their anomalies.
The strong negative correlation of these oxides is due to
later replacement of CaO by SiO2, which is supported by the
siliceous dolomite/ impure marble country rocks present at
the above areas.
The geochemical maps of the other elements and oxides
dose not show any significant anomalous zone. The
geochemical maps of different elements and oxides (Fig.2-
25) along with sample location map (Fig. 1) are attached
with the report.

27
CHAPTER-6

MINERALISATION

Indications of very good copper mineralisation as


grains of bornite, chalcopyrite, covellite and malachite
stains are noted in the mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet
and impure marble host rock in the Baleshwar – Dokan –
Patan area. Bornite grains are exposed on the surface of
the mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet as dissemination and
along quartz veins in impure marble. Grains of bornite,
chalcopyrite, covellite and pyrite with malachite stains
are also noted in the NNE of Nimod, NNE of Baleshwar and N
of Kalyanpura as dissemination in exposed rocks as well as
in the dug well mucks. In Mahawa area extensive malachite
stains is noted with specks of bornite in the quartzite and
schist host rock. Pyrrhotite is noted in the massive
quartzite at a place north of Bhopiya on ridge top. Old
working for copper is noted at the contact of the gritty
quartzite and schist rock, in eastern slope of gritty
quartzite ridge, SE of Baleshwar. Old working of copper is
also noted at the contact of the ferruginised brecciated
quartzite and the schist rock in SW of Kalyanpura, good
malachite stains is noted here. Ferruginised brecciated
quartzite in Parusotampura – Kalyanpura section is
gossanised at many places, forming gossan type rock of
brick red colour. One prominent iron rich band is noted
nearly 4 km SSW of Raipur, which is 10-50 m wide and nearly
500mt in strike length with a very high content of
hematite. Another iron rich band is noted in the Narda
area. Beside these calcite quarries are noted in the Raipur

28
area. The host rock in which thick calcite veins are
exposed is calc-silicate.
The bedrock samples collected from the rocks of the
mineralised area, analysed by AAS method yielded copper
values ranging from 0.1 to 1.91 %, zinc values between <10
to 0.17% and lead values ranging from 20 to 529 ppm. Nickel
and cobalt values ranges between <25 to 750 and <25 to 622
ppm respectively and Au values up to 0.3 ppm (Table No.-
1). High values of Au have been reported from 1.5 km north
of Baleshwar, N & NNE of Nimod. Most of the samples
analysed for base metal shows values of Cu in percentage,
and on this basis only few areas have been recommended for
further studies. These areas are located 1.5 km north of
Baleshwar, 1.5 km NE of Baleshwar, 1.5 km N & NW of Nimod
and 1 km SE of Mahawa. All these four localities show good
values of copper for a considerable strike length (more
than one kilometer). Soil geochemical sampling was carried
out in and around Baleshwar and Nathuwala area to identify
the secondary dispersion pattern of elements in order to
decipher the trend and extent of base metal mineralisation
zones.

CHAPTER-7

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION


From the specialised thematic mapping and geochemical
sampling in Nim Ka Thana – Raipur – Patan area, Sikar
district, Rajasthan on 1: 25000 scale the following
conclusions can be drawn:
i. The study area exposes low to medium grade
metasedimentary rocks belonging to Ajabgarh Group of
Delhi Supergroup and intrusives of Post Delhi age.
ii. Ajabgarh Group of rocks are arenaceous, calcareous
and argillaceous in nature and comprises of
quartzite, mica schist ± amphibole ± garnet, calc –
silicate/ calc – gneiss, dolomite/ impure marble.
Granite, amphibolite, pegmatite and quartz veins are
the Post Delhi intrusives.
iii. The rock of the study area shows evidences of three
phases of deformation. F1 folds are tight to
isoclinal and disharmonic in nature with moderate to
steep southwesterly plunge. F2 folds are tight to
open in nature showing moderate south and
southwesterly plunge. Third phase of deformation
resulted in F3 folding of rocks, developed weakly as
broad open warps along WWN – EES striking axial
plane.
iv. Study of the mineral assemblages of the rocks
indicate that the rocks of the area has undergone
Green Schist facies to Albite– Epidote– Amphibolite
facies (i.e. Lower Amphibolite facies) regional
metamorphism.

30
v. Indication of copper mineralisation in the form of
grains of Bornite, chalcopyrite, covellite and
malachite stains are seen in the mica schist ±
amphibole ± garnet and impure marble host rock in
the Baleshwar – Dokan – Patan area. Bornite grains
are exposed on the surface of the mica schist ±
amphibole ± garnet as dissemination and along quartz
veins in impure marble. The bedrock samples yielded
copper values ranging from 0.1 to 1.91 %, zinc
values between 10 ppm to 0.17% and lead values
ranging from 20 to 529 ppm. Nickel and cobalt values
ranges between <25 to 750 and <25 to 622 ppm
respectively. Gold values ranges between <0.05 to
0.3 ppm.

RECOMMENDATION:
Samples analysed for base metal shows values of
Cu in percentage mostly and on this basis few areas
have been recommended for further studies. These
areas are located 1.5 km north and 1.5 km NE of
Baleshwar, 1.5 km N & NW of Nimod and 1 km east of
Mahawa. All these four localities shows good values
of copper for a considerable strike length (more
